Chapter 558: Such Li Zaoyu (II)
As the first part of "Million Dollar Baby" was playing in the auditorium, Gan Jing could sense some distraction from the audience, as evidenced by the occasional whisper and the face illuminated by a small screen.
Generally speaking, audiences are more engaged in sitting in the cinema than in front of their own TV, firstly, because the cinema environment gives the audience mandatory conditions for watching movies, and secondly, because movie tickets have a more intuitive spending of money.
Therefore, when the audience can't concentrate on the big screen, it often represents a bad signal, is there something wrong with the movie? It's not good-looking, the actors are not beautiful, the protagonist's acting skills are not good, and the villain is not bad enough?
Or, the person sitting on the left eating popcorn is too loud?
Or, the person sitting on the right pulled out a pancake fruit?
Or, the couple sitting in front of you suddenly kissed?
Anyway, a few small gestures from the audience represent a signal that they can interpret, which is somewhat dangerous.
Gan Jing glanced sideways and swept it with his afterglow, and pondered a 12345 in his heart, when the movie first started, everyone should have had the expectation of watching a chicken soup movie, but the color style of this film is not high-spirited, and chicken soup movies generally need the kind of flower-like details on the yellow earth, which is what "Million Baby" lacks.
Regardless of the twists in the first and second halves of the work, its overall style is narrative rather than comedic or funny, and the consequence of this is the distraction of the audience at the moment.
But this distraction is reversed when it comes to cold, rough, blunt hemostatic scenes.
Even if it is not a commercial film, the most direct means by which an art film can mobilize emotions also includes sensory stimulation.
"Forrest Gump, this picture is handled beautifully, and Li Zaoyu is also beautiful. Really, just like that, I suddenly forgot the impression that Li Zaoyu gave me when he acted in movies before. Zhang Zhonghui came to Gan Jing's side to share in a low voice after the small plot of the movie passed.
Gan Jing smiled silently and did not speak.
Zhang Zhonghui continued: "It's not in vain that we have good intentions for her, now that I think about it, Li Zaoyu is making progress in every film." ”
Gan Jing couldn't be silent, he reprimanded in a low voice: "What are the two of us? It's me, it's me, I'm the director." ”
"Then I can't play for her? I can't have such a proper performance to highlight her brilliance?" Zhang Zhonghui's voice was slightly louder, attracting Li Zaoyu's attention.
Li Zaoyu said in a chaotic manner: "I am forever grateful to Brother Gan. ”
"Li Zaoyu, do you know that the future king of science fiction is watching you?" Zhang Zhonghui joked.
"There were no lights, it was too dark to see. Li Zaoyu made his position clear.
"You're done, I'll tell you ......"
Gan Jing interrupted the actor's ridicule: "Can't you watch it? Watch a movie. ”
Zhang Zhonghui retracted his seat stupidly, and Li Zaoyu was a little proud of the boss's bias.
Compared with the indecency of one of the directors and the two leading actors here, Jiang Chun, who was sitting on the right, didn't say a word, and he didn't even hear the three of them chatting because he was too focused.
Jiang Chun participated in the whole process of this play, even if his role was completed in the later stage, he insisted on staying in the crew and not leaving, just to have a sense of ritual with all beards and tails.
At this moment, the sense of ritual is gone, and the desire to enjoy attention disappears, Jiang Chun watched the scenes he was familiar with on the big screen flashing continuously, and he only sighed in his heart, Gan Jing just cut it out like this?
He cut it directly with scissors?
Jiang Chun knows the end of the story, and his perspective and mentality are different from those of others watching movies, but the more he does this, the more he feels that this scene is well arranged.
The performance on the big screen in the theater continued to go down, when the plot was more than halfway through, when the heroine gradually succeeded, when she stood in the boxing ring again, everything changed because of a sneak attack by the opponent.
The hustle and bustle of the audience in the boxing match slowed down suddenly, and the expression of the actor Zhang Zhonghui froze suddenly, and the opponent who sneaked up on the punch looked at the fallen Li Zaoyu, while Jiang Chun stood in the dark with a sad face.
The camera stretches from low to high, and in the bird's-eye view, Li Zaoyu is lying motionless on the ground.
A sneak attack, the fallen position made the footstool face the neck, and the devastating blow was revealed at this moment.
The hearts of the audience in the theater invariably "popped".
If it is an ordinary audience, it may not be so sharp, but many of the people here are very expert, and at this moment, they immediately understand why the cold color picture style in the first 92 minutes of the film came from.
It's not a chicken soup movie at all!
How dare the director play like this?!
Not pleasing, not pleasing, not pleasing!
The story of the film has since turned to a complete coldness.
How hard Li Zaoyu worked in the previous story, how weak she was in the hospital bed because of a broken spine.
The movie continues, forty minutes, and there is silence in the viewing hall for the next forty minutes, only the moment when the heroine fails to commit suicide and finally Zhang Zhonghui helps Li Zaoyu end, there is an intermittent sobbing sound.
With a slow piano sound, the cast slowly appeared on the big screen, and the lights in the theater were turned on again.
The premiere of Million Dollar Baby is over, and a 132-minute movie is over.
Enthusiastic applause rang out.
The main creative team in the front row stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.
"Gandao, Gandao......"
"Li Zaoyu, may I ask ...... you right?"
"Gan Dao, I want to ask a ......"
When the main creative team re-appeared on the stage, the troubled questions immediately hit in an orderly manner, and the people with media attributes present seemed to be particularly excited, and this excitement was a little different from before the start of the film - they took the initiative to ask Li Zaoyu.
Gan Jing raised his hand and pressed down again, and waited until the scene was quiet before saying: "Thank you for participating in our premiere, in order not to delay the viewing of the movie later, we will end it with three more questions from media friends." The dinner was right next to us, and we could still eat and talk. ”
This time, there was no need for the host Liao You to pick, Gan Jing directly saved trouble and picked three beautiful reporters in a row.
"Li Zaoyu, I want to ask you are satisfied with your performance? Do you think this drama can make you win the trophy? Last time, "Me and Him" was only shortlisted but did not win the slightest. The female reporter asked wittily and quickly after getting up.
Li Zaoyu didn't expect that the first question was to herself, she thought about it for a while and kept it simple: "I'm very satisfied, I hope to win the award." ”
The female reporter was obviously not satisfied with this answer, so the reporter simply asked her a second question: "What kind of box office do you think "Million Dollar Baby" can achieve? You must know that there is not much commercial acceptance of such heavy films in China. ”
Li Zaoyu hesitated this time: "I haven't thought about the box office, I just think that as Brother Gan said, everyone should be more tolerant of art films, and the box office is not the most important criterion for measuring it." ”
"Then do you think this film will win compared to "The Boxer"? ”
"Will win, will win, I believe Mr. Jiang thinks so too. Li Zaoyu replied this time with Jiang Chun next to him.
Jiang Chun nodded, and some expected the reporters to ask him, but the people on the audience still focused on Li Zaoyu, which was very different from the beginning.
Am I out of breath so quickly?
Jiang Chun was suddenly depressed, silently watching the director Gan Jing start to say the closing scene, and watching everyone give warm applause and pay attention to the key actors.
However, when he thought about it, it was not bad, Li Zaoyu performed so well, and was looked at so much, it proved that his son was wrong, he was right, and it was good!
